naginterfaces.library.rand.times_garch_exp(dist, num, ip, iq, theta, df, fcall, comm, statecomm)

times_garch_exp generates a given number of terms of an exponential $\text{GARCH}(p,q)$ process (see Engle and Ng (1993)).

Parameters

diststr, length 1

The type of distribution to use for ${ϵ}_t$.

$dist=\text{'N'}$

A Normal distribution is used.

$dist=\text{'T'}$

A Student’s $t$-distribution is used.

numint

$T$, the number of terms in the sequence.

ipint

The number of coefficients, ${\beta }_{\text{i}}$, for $\text{i}=1,2,\dots ,p$.

iqint

The number of coefficients, ${\alpha }_{\text{i}}$, for $\text{i}=1,2,\dots ,q$.

thetafloat, array-like, shape $(2\times iq+ip+1)$

The initial parameter estimates for the vector $\theta$. The first element must contain the coefficient ${\alpha }_o$ and the next $iq$ elements must contain the autoregressive coefficients ${\alpha }_{\text{i}}$, for $\text{i}=1,2,\dots ,q$. The next $iq$ elements must contain the coefficients ${\varphi }_{\text{i}}$, for $\text{i}=1,2,\dots ,q$. The next $ip$ elements must contain the moving average coefficients ${\beta }_{\text{j}}$, for $\text{j}=1,2,\dots ,p$.

dfint

The number of degrees of freedom for the Student’s $t$-distribution.

If $dist=\text{'N'}$, $df$ is not referenced.

fcallbool

If $fcall=True$, a new sequence is to be generated, otherwise a given sequence is to be continued using the information in $comm$[‘r’].

commdict, communication object, modified in place

Communication structure for the reference vector.

If $fcall=False$, this argument must have been initialized by a prior call to times_garch_exp.

statecommdict, RNG communication object, modified in place

RNG communication structure.

This argument must have been initialized by a prior call to init_repeat() or init_nonrepeat().

Returns

htfloat, ndarray, shape $\left(num\right)$

The conditional variances $h_{\text{t}}$, for $\text{t}=1,2,\dots ,T$, for the $\text{GARCH}(p,q)$ sequence.

etfloat, ndarray, shape $\left(num\right)$

The observations ${ϵ}_{\text{t}}$, for $\text{t}=1,2,\dots ,T$, for the $\text{GARCH}(p,q)$ sequence.

Raises

NagValueError

(errno $1$)

On entry, $dist$ is not valid: $dist=⟨value⟩$.

(errno $2$)

On entry, $num=⟨value⟩$.

Constraint: $num\ge 0$.

(errno $3$)

On entry, $ip=⟨value⟩$.

Constraint: $ip\ge 0$.

(errno $4$)

On entry, $iq=⟨value⟩$.

Constraint: $iq\ge 1$.

(errno $6$)

On entry, $df=⟨value⟩$.

Constraint: $df\ge 3$.

(errno $10$)

$ip$ or $iq$ is not the same as when $comm$[‘r’] was set up in a previous call.

Previous value of $ip=⟨value⟩$ and $ip=⟨value⟩$.

Previous value of $iq=⟨value⟩$ and $iq=⟨value⟩$.

(errno $12$)

On entry, $statecomm$[‘state’] vector has been corrupted or not initialized.

(errno $20$)

Invalid sequence generated, use different parameters.

Notes

An exponential $\text{GARCH}(p,q)$ process is represented by:

$$ln\left(h_t\right)={\alpha }_0+\sum _{i=1}^q{\alpha }_i{z}_{t-i}+\sum _{i=1}^q{\varphi }_i(\left|z_{t-i}\right|-E\left[\left|z_{t-i}\right|\right])+\sum _{j=1}^p{\beta }_{j}ln\left(h_{t-j}\right)\text{,}t=1,2,\dots ,T\text{;}$$

where $z_t=\frac{{ϵ}_t}{\sqrt{h_t}}$, $E\left[\left|z_{t-i}\right|\right]$ denotes the expected value of $\left|z_{t-i}\right|$, and ${ϵ}_t|{\psi }_{t-1}=N(0,h_t)$ or ${ϵ}_t|{\psi }_{t-1}=S_t(\text{df},h_t)$. Here $S_t$ is a standardized Student’s $t$-distribution with $\text{df}$ degrees of freedom and variance $h_t$, $T$ is the number of observations in the sequence, ${ϵ}_t$ is the observed value of the $\text{GARCH}(p,q)$ process at time $t$, $h_t$ is the conditional variance at time $t$, and ${\psi }_t$ the set of all information up to time $t$.

One of the initialization functions init_repeat() (for a repeatable sequence if computed sequentially) or init_nonrepeat() (for a non-repeatable sequence) must be called prior to the first call to times_garch_exp.
